Default Dwarf angelfish
Has anybody kept/keep multiple dwarf angelfishes in a large tank ? I'm upgrading to a 180-280 gal. tank and would like to keep a japanese, potter's, & flame to go along with my coral beauty.

I would say that it would be possible in a tank that size. But as most people that know anything about angels is that they all have different personalities. Sometimes you get one that is real laid back and sometimes you get one that jumps out of the tank and chases you around (LOL). Its just hit and miss with most angels in general=l. If you are going to try this you would need to get all of them at once and add them at the same time.
If you are talking about a Japanese pygmy angel they are extremely expensive and hard to come by. Potters need lots of very productive LR to survive and even then its iffy. Flame angels are supposed to be hardy but over the past several years they have gotten a bad reputation for not survivng in home aquariums.

Thanks for the responses guys ! I know a coral beauty runs about 20 bucks and the flame/potter is in the 30-50 buck range. How much is a japanese dwarf angel fish going to cost me ???

im guessing not, the language is in american lol. rare fish normally come with a big price tag, exspecially one thats only avaliable once every 3 years! you must post pics if you get one.
